21 days from admission to complete it. The MDS nurse stated there was a care plan for skin integrity, but
she agreed it was for Resident #1's skin breakdown to her buttocks since one of the interventions was to apply a barrier cream. She stated there should have been one specifically for the surgical wound requiring wound care. The MDS nurse stated the care plan was a clinical tool used by staff to determine how to address the residents wants, needs, and care. The MDS nurse reiterated and clarified she had 21 days from admission or 14 days from the date of the comprehensive assessment to finish the comprehensive care plan, then after looking it up, she stated she was wrong, and it was 7 days from the date the comprehensive assessment was completed. She stated Resident #1's comprehensive assessment was completed on 08/25/2025, so her comprehensive care plan should have been completed by 09/01/2025, and Resident #1's still was not completed because she was still adding interventions, such as bed in low position (added 09/09/2025) and fall mats (added 09/10/2025).In an interview on 09/10/2025 at 3:05 PM
the DON stated Resident #1 was admitted to the skilled unit for therapy and post-surgical care after a fall which caused a fracture requiring surgical intervention. She also stated she was not sure why the surgical wound requiring wound care was not on the care plan, but it should have been since it was the reason Resident #1 was admitted . The DON stated some things, such as the floor mats, had not been addressed
on the care plan because she was under the impression the facility had 21 days from admission, regardless of when the comprehensive assessment had been completed.
